Our chronic pain solicitors have extensive experience helping clients secure compensation for a wide range of conditions caused by accidents, medical negligence, or workplace incidents. The types of chronic pain claims we handle include:
Back and Neck Injuries: Chronic pain caused by workplace accidents, road traffic collisions, or slips and falls.
Joint and Limb Pain: Long-term pain in knees, shoulders, hips, or arms following accidents, sports injuries, or repetitive strain.
Nerve Pain / Neuropathic Conditions: Chronic nerve pain caused by injuries, surgical complications, or conditions like sciatica.
Soft Tissue Injuries: Persistent pain from whiplash, muscle strains, ligament damage, or tendon injuries.
Medical Negligence-Related Pain: Chronic pain resulting from surgical errors, misdiagnosis, or delayed treatment.
Workplace and Industrial Injury Pain: Pain caused by repetitive tasks, poor ergonomics, or exposure to harmful conditions.
Catastrophic or Long-Term Pain Conditions: Severe or life-changing chronic pain that significantly impacts daily life and quality of living.
Chronic pain can have a profound impact on your life, affecting work, relationships, and mental health. Our solicitors provide expert guidance to ensure your claim covers medical treatment, care, lost earnings, and any other related costs.
Anyone who has suffered chronic pain as a result of someone else’s negligence or wrongdoing may be eligible to make a claim. Eligibility depends on proving that the pain was caused or significantly worsened by the accident, injury, or medical treatment.
Eligible Claimants Include:
Adults Experiencing Chronic Pain: Individuals who have developed long-term pain following a road traffic accident, workplace injury, or medical negligence.
Dependents in Certain Cases: If the chronic pain affects a minor or vulnerable person, a parent, guardian, or litigation friend can make a claim on their behalf.
Accident or Medical-Related Injuries: Claims can arise from incidents such as:
Road traffic collisions
Workplace accidents
Medical errors or surgical complications
Slips, trips, or falls in public or private spaces
You must demonstrate a causal link between the incident and your chronic pain.
Compensation may cover medical treatment, therapy, loss of earnings, care, and pain and suffering.
Time limits: Most claims must be made within three years from the date of the accident or when the injury was diagnosed.
Compensation for chronic pain claims is designed to cover the physical, emotional, and financial impact of your condition. Each claim is unique, and the amount awarded depends on the severity of your pain, its effect on daily life, and any financial losses incurred.
1. General Damages
These compensate for pain, suffering, and loss of amenity caused by your chronic pain. Courts and insurers consider:
The intensity and duration of your pain
How it limits your daily activities
2. Special Damages
Special damages cover financial losses directly caused by your injury, including:
Medical treatment and therapy costs
Prescription medication and specialist equipment
Travel expenses for treatment
Adaptations to your home or vehicle
Loss of earnings due to inability to work
3. Future Losses
For long-term or permanent conditions, compensation may also include:
Future medical and therapy costs
Ongoing care or assistance
Loss of future earning potential if your career is affected
4. Factors Affecting Compensation
When calculating your claim, solicitors and insurers will consider:
Your age and occupation
Severity and duration of chronic pain
Impact on your quality of life, independence, and mental health
Chronic pain claims can be complex, especially when proving the link between an incident and long-term pain. Experienced chronic pain solicitors ensure all relevant damages are included, helping you secure maximum compensation to cover treatment, care, and future needs.
Making a claim for chronic pain can feel overwhelming, but at NJS Law we guide you through every stage with clear advice and compassionate support. Here’s what you can expect:
We offer a free consultation to assess your case honestly and without obligation, giving you clear advice on whether you can claim.
We gather medical records, accident reports, and expert testimony to prove liability and build the strongest possible case.
We identify who is legally responsible for your injury — whether that’s an employer, driver, medical professional, or another party — and present your case to them.
We calculate compensation to cover medical costs, lost earnings, care needs, and emotional distress, ensuring both immediate and long-term losses are recognised.
Most cases settle out of court. If liability is disputed, we negotiate firmly and, if needed, represent you in court to secure fair compensation.
Dealing with chronic pain can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re unsure of your rights or worried about your future. Our expert solicitors provide clear, honest advice and manage every aspect of your claim, so you can focus on recovery while we fight for justice.

A £50,000 Compensation Payout After a Devastating Head-On Crash
One reckless decision led to months of physical pain and a lifetime of emotional trauma. Our client, hit head-on by a driver who swerved into the wrong lane, was awarded £50,000 in compensation to cover their injuries and financial losses.
When we hear the term serious injury, it can evoke images of life-altering events, hospital stays, or prolonged recovery periods. But what exactly constitutes a serious injury? Here’s a closer look at its meaning, the implications for those affected, and why understanding it is important.
It is estimated that 35 individuals per week, that is one person every 4 hours, suffers from a spinal cord injury (SCI). The leading cause for SCI is trauma, including road traffic accidents, accidents at work and falls.
